Publisher's Note

      This book was produced by optically scanning the original publication by the same title. Although we have made corrections to typographical errors, this electronic text preserves the basic format of the original. The hard copy text from which this electronic edition was created was published and copyrighted by Christian Publishing Company of St. Louis, Missouri, in 1906.

       In the author's dedication of his work to the memory of Thomas Campbell, he refers to "millions of longing souls who are praying for a united Church" for whom the pioneer had lifted "a banner of unity" as an "ensign of hope."  It is as an encouragement to continued prayer and renewed hope for the visible unity of all who have surrendered their lives to the sovereignty of Jesus Christ that we make available and commend this insightful little volume by J. H. Garrison.
